<p>On Windows there is no such simple and elegant solution.
	Please check <code class="filename">README</code> file in <code class="filename">win32</code>
	folder of the library package for latest instructions.
	However, there are few general things, that you need to remember:

	    If you do not want to dynamicaly load xmlsec-crypto library

	    xmlsec-crypto libraries.
	    </p></li>

	    In order to enable dynamic loading for xmlsec-crypto library
